Mr Larry David, How do you find the time for playing accordion with your Curb Your Enthusiasm show?

The dry accordion is so called piccolo and (if expensive) has one 16'' reed, two 8'' reeds, one 4'' reed. The wet version has one 16'' reed and three 8'' reeds and it's called french or musette. So you get to choose anyway if you want a dry or wet model. The two 8''reeds are not a real musette, but the three slightly detuned ones are.And I'm talking here 10.000$ italian handmade accordions.

@Steelbluebrick

Well as far as diatonics go, pretty much any hohner, gabbanelli, or weltmeister is wet tuned. Im pretty sure their piano keyed accordions are also lol

Very interesting clips you show here.

I agree with what you said in most parts. But there is one thing you said, I do have honest doubts about: you divide into two groups - wet and dry. THIS is right for small accordions with up to 3 blocks (smaller, cheaper ones). Accordions with more blocks (4, 5) do often have the option for BOTH tuningmethods in one instrument - just depending on the selection of registers. So you can have "wet" and a "dry" tremolo in just one instrument.
